Hi all,

I got an issue with Excel userform Microsoft webbrowser.

Purpose of my userform/macro:
- Searching cell value in Webbrowser to view info on specified websites.

VBA Code:
Webbrowser1.Navigate = "https://www.digikey.nl/products/en?keywords=" & textbox1.text

The problem is that:
- I can't follow a link which normally would open in a new tab. (If I copy the link manually and browse it with the webbrowser it works fine.)
- I'm unable to catch the link its trying to follow it only cathces the url its currently at.
- It tries to open an newwindow instead it should open in current window.

Link to try:

then navigate to Datasheet button.

What I tried:
Catching the URL at BeforeNavigate event
Code:
Link = Webbrowser1.locationURL
or WebBrowser1.URL.ToString (didnt get the right link)

Redirecting at WebBrowser1_NewWindow2
Code:
Cancel = true
WebBrowser1.Navigate (link)

Some pointers in the right direction would be more then welcome.
Most results I found on google are c# based.
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Try this code in the userform's module:
VBA Code:
Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow2(ppDisp As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
    
    Dim link As Object
    
    Set link = WebBrowser1.Document.ActiveElement
    If link.tagName = "A" Then
        WebBrowser1.Navigate link.href
    End If
    
    'Set Cancel flag to prevent new IE window opening
    Cancel = True

End Sub
